Help with uploading a file...

Hi, I need some assistance again...

I have a simple upload form from manual that goes like this:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="list.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000">
Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file">
<input type="submit" value="Send File">
</form>

list.php then searches "/upload" and lists all the files found in there.

Now, what I need is to tell it where to upload a file :)
By default, tutorial says, files are in /var/www/tmp.
My web server doesn't even have this directory.
I tried doing some search in various tmp folders but found none of the
uploaded files. I expected it to see in the directory from which I
executed the form.. but... umm... no. Nothing there as well.

Just whem I was about to to phpinfo(); to search for the patch for
storing temp uploaded files server crashed... damn shared hosting.
So I have to wait for admins to bring it back online...

By the way, I can't try 'move_uploaded_file($_FILE['something'...
because the PHP version installed is not > or == 4.1.0 :((
I think it's 4.0.6 but I don't think it's that important.
Suggested solution was "$HTTP_UPLOADED_FILE" if I recall right...
.... but that failed to work for me as well :((

Anyone has any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Six


P.S. I was just trying to make a simple file upload script. Nothing
fancy. Just to allow several people to send something to me via web...

The location where the file is stored is saved in
$_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'].

To copy the file from this temporary directory to another location do this:
copy($_FILE['userfile']['tmp_name'], 'C:\' . $_FILE['userfile']['name']);

The file which is located at $_FILE['userfile']['tmp_name'] is deleted
after the script ends.

Please take a look at the part of my original post:

:(
But thanks for trying to help.

Bay the way, I found the almost perfect solution at

I acutally had to change only one single lettes, but that was the buggy
part that was driving me mad :) LOL I guess develeoper didn't test the
script onder PHP < 4.1.0 :)
